Psychotherapy treatment is Relational Medicine.

We find great pleasure in life when the need for love, connection, and emotional security is fulfilled. By contrast, when relationships fail and disappoint, they disrupt our personal integrity and undermine our sense of trust. Your psychotherapy relationship with Dr. Rupert enables you to repair injuries and resume your developmental progress. Psychotherapy provides emotional and intellectual nutrients needed to improve your life.

You can increase your personal power, creativity, and resourcefulness.

Though we are shaped by our genetic inheritance, history, and present circumstance, taking personal responsibility for our lives is a basic necessity. When you begin the psychotherapy with Dr. Rupert, you become empowered and find fresh ways to manage and overcome your problems.

Because you are unique, psychotherapy needs to be customized to fit you.

Dr. Rupert is able to see you as a total person–body, mind, and soul--in the tangled complexities of your life. Appreciating that you are one–of–a–kind, she individualizes her treatment to fit your needs, personality, and life situation.

You can positively impact the whole system.

As a marriage and family therapist and psychologist–psychoanalyst, Dr. Rupert views your psychological life in a larger, multi–layered context that is ever–changing and timeless. Psychotherapy helps to broaden your perspective and increase your observational powers. You become able to see, feel, think, and respond differently. Gradually, you can free yourself from emotionally charged yet unhealthy systems. You become the change that you would like to see in the world.

Your treatment is based on the latest scientific discoveries combined with ancient soul-healing traditions.

For over three decades, Dr. Rupert’s knowledge and experience have been carefully cultivated to provide you with the most effective treatment available. With two doctorates, she can select the right services to fit your needs and circumstance. Relaxation, guided imagery, systematic desensitization, mindfulness training, rational-emotive, family systems, cognitive-behavioral and psychoanalysis–psychotherapy all have a place in her practice.

Knowledge of the inner workings of the mind is a specialty of Dr. Rupert’s and a key to successful psychotherapy. Trained in psychoanalytic theory and practice, Dr Rupert utilizes both classical and contemporary methods to explore how and why “the heart has reason that reason knows not.” Psychotherapy allows you to gain access to the forces that operate beneath logic and beyond reality principles. With her special abilities of attunement and insight into unconscious processes, Dr. Rupert offers you comprehensive and well–focused treatment.

Psychotherapy helps to remove barriers that hold you back from the natural growth process.

It is encouraging to note that we are on a life–long path towards greater personal consciousness and socio–emotional maturity. Though life–experience may be our best teacher, bad experience can overwhelm us and undermine our happiness and success. Dr. Rupert helps us to overcome bad experience, specifically the emotional blocks and fears that keep us stuck. When you are in psychotherapy treatment, you can heal, repair, and free yourself, and resume your natural developmental progress.
